cohofishing Report post Posted March 5, 2016 Got Courtney's 264 win mag back from Craig's custom rifles of Tucson. Craig did a awesome job and we can't wait to get it to the range. It was built on a browning A-bolt action which was my first gun I bought with my own money 30 years ago. He blue printed the action and mated it to a Brux #4 heavy sporter barrel 1-8 in the 264 win mag. Put on a Terminator T1 brake and cerakoted the whole thing in graphite black. He fitted it all to the Richard Microfit psychedelic stock that had already been shaped. Top it of with a sightron SIII 6.5-24x50 scope. We put on a atlas bipod quick disconnect. It weighs 11.3 pounds. It looks awesome. A perfect woman's gun. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cohofishing Report post Posted March 7, 2016 We built it to shoot 140's. Craig likes the berger 140 hybrids is his other 6.5's. I only have only experience with the hunting vlds. I loaded some hybrids and some nosler 142 lrabs today. I also have on hand 140 amax and 140 nosler ballistic tips as wells a whole assortment of different 130's I could try. Going to try to go to the range this week. Brent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted March 7, 2016 Brent, dont be afraid to look at the Lapua Scenars too. Although I did not fill my deer tag, two buddies used my LRM shooting the 180 Scenar. Neither one had to track their bucks! My buddy Mike smoked a small spike with it at 310. He hit shoulder so there was a little more damage then normal but the deer didn't move an inch. My other buddy killed a real big 2 point at 342 up above us, looking down towards us. This deer did a complete front flip! No exit, .284 entrance and very little meat damage if any. The vitals were jello and took ALL the punishment. The Scenar has a little more baring surface so you should reach pressure before you would with the hybrids, but they are very accurate and only give up the slightest bit of BC to the Hybrid (.672 vs .661). The 139 Sceanr has a BC of .578, and the 140 Hybrid has a BC of .618 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoss50 Report post Posted March 7, 2016 Very nice rifle. When I shoot the barrel out of my 257 weatherby I am going to have an internal fight whether to rebarrel to 257 weatherby again or 264 win mag. I really love my weatherby but getting access to 140gr bullets would be awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cohofishing Report post Posted March 10, 2016 First of all. The gun shoots like a dream. I like to say that I have three generations of Craig's custom rifles. A 7 wsm on a winchester model 70 action that he built when he just started. A 6.5 creedmoor that is built on a savage 10 action built a few years later. And of course Courtney's 264 win mag. They all shoot great but Craig out did himself on Court's gun. He says it is the terminator T1 break. The first couple of shots, I had to look at the cases to make sure I was shooting a 264. Courtney's gun was a semi custom with a break before Craig got a hold of it; but dang, does it shoot comfortable now. Shot about 35 rounds to break in the barrel. Three Points as always had a little wind that morning. Cases were new to the gun. Three of the loads were loaded for Court's old barrel 1-9 twist but re seated deeper for the new chamber. Shot the 120 sierra's first and 130 nosler accubonds second. I used the 130's as a fouling shot after cleaning between every group I really like the long range accubonds but Craig said his experience with them isn't the best. He predicted that I would have one flyer and I did. This is the only bullet I shot touching the lands. Liked the 140 hybrid's the best. Will tweak the loads and seating depth. Should be able to find something a little more accurate. It was 40 degrees with wind. I was wearing two sweat shirts. I know the gun will do better.
